It took a 40-feet-long truck to haul the latest food delivery to a Titusville food bank Thursday.

Father Rob Goodridge of St. Gabriel's Episcopal Church said volunteers unloaded 26 pallets of food from the delivery, a surplus from the Federal Emergency Management Agency in Jacksonville. That's 26,000 meals that Goodridge's ministry, No One Hungry, will be serving to youth, senior citizens and the homeless in Titusville and Mims.

"We recognized there was a need in Titusville" when the ministry began a few years ago, Goodridge said. His church partners with Bethlehem Missionary Baptist Church and has two food banks locations.

FEMA offered the surplus to any group that would take the food, Goodridge said. The Episcopal diocese that includes St. Gabriel's has a deacon who has a truck who volunteered to drive to Jacksonville and take the food to Titusville. Once there, Wild Ocean Seafood Market in Titusville provided a forklift and an operator to unload the pallets. Several volunteers did the rest.
